Making the Oilcan Banjo

A lot of people asked me how I made the gascan banjo. Then my friend Carla gave me this olive oil can. Said she thought I might make something good out of it. So I made the oilcan banjo, and documented it. The background music is from the oilcan. I think it's got a nice sound, for an oil can.

I am looking for a canned ham with a can big enough to make myself a Hamjo. I don't know what I am going to do with the ham, but I know what I will do with the can!

@CrimsonTalonTerror1 There's a bolt that was put through the original banjo as a dowell rod. I just trimmed it down and put it through the can..
